I Restored $5 Destroyed iPhone 4S Back to Brand New - Phone Restoration & Repair
Vložit
- čas přidán 27. 03. 2020
- I bought this iPhone 4S from ebay to restore it. I haven’t worked much with such “new tech” or phones so this was an interesting and challenging restoration. It has only a broken screen and power button which turned out to be quite simple fix and easy to troubleshoot. I will replace the screen and the power button / light sensor cable. I also changed the color of the iPhone to black because I like how it looks, especially with the brushed steel.
This project was mostly just a disassembly, quick cleanup with isopropyl alcohol, sanding the body and reassembly with the broken parts replaced so I will not write a long text this time. All the cables are super delicate, and the connectors will snap in place with ease after you find the right position. You should never try to force them in to place. Also when replacing the screen you should be very especially careful to get the cables through the body without bending them in wrong places. You will only ruin the connectors if you try.

The pause when he broke part of the screen, I could feel the emotion
Same. It was a time of loss and mourn. (I hope I spelled that right)
Timestamp???
@@wiredcity5617 around 9:15 mark
CamisadoCabaret369 thank youuu! Have a good day!
The easiest way to get the screen off when the glass is shattered like this is to use a pry tool to push on the clips in the corners and sides from the inside of the phone. Also, the six screws on the sides that hold the screen in don't need to be fully removed, you can just loosen them. This saves some time, since they're a bit of a pain to get back in.
Thanks for the video, gave me some nostalgia for my phone repair days, I did a lot of these. The 4S is probably the most memorable phone I repaired. Partially because of the design with the screen replacement requiring practically every component to be removed, making the repairs take forever.
I’m really glad that you don’t play annoying background music!
*flashs back to Five Minute Crafts* The horror...the horror...!
Actually this a pretty ASMR video.
i agree I love this format!
Like old porn
RexPlayzGT because annoying background music is just that. Annoying. Most people who watch these sort of videos are probably not teenagers with the attention span of a goldfish. Older viewers, 40 plus don’t need gimmicks to keep us interested. The content does that if its good quality.
*takes apart 2/3 of the entire phone*
"I can finally remove the power button"
😂😂💀💀
Such is the anti-consumer company. They don't want you to be able to easily fix their stuff. They want you to buy a whole new one. Fucking leeches.

I just love how your videos have no music, just you, your tools, and the sounds of your work. Videos are very satisfying, enjoyable, and relaxing.
Very relaxing indeed.
Yes very relaxing
I can relate-

@@ygormartinsr well the thing is are u gonna use it
Lol
It's amazing how hostile the design is to repair. Apple seems to have constructed this phone (and, I presume all phones) to make them near impossible for a DIY-er to fix. As an engineer myself, I dislike that, and love the fact that you fixed it anyway.
Just wait till you see the newer ones
a bit like an Xbox.. like you need to remove 6/7 of the console to take out the disk drive
That template is a game changer as a tech with mad ADHD like myself. 😂
The iphone 4 is about the worst for doing a screen change on , you have to remove almost everything and the screws in the corners are a real pain . Those ribbon cables have to be fed through very carefully as well , easy to snag and rip them , i know from experience 😂
This guy don’t need tech support, he IS TECH SUPPORT
Criminally underrated comment right here.
seriously like hes fixed so much stuff its ridiculous
Lol
He is the Warranty.
He is better then tech support
I am pretty sure by this point that he is either:
1-A SCP that fixes anything
2-A greek god/creature about fixing things

watching you repair shit I've never thought could be fixed is just so pleasing and satisfying. I don't know much about electronics or how to fix them, but I'm learning things just by watching these kind restoration videos.

We are basically watching surgery

The way you have to take out so many parts just to get to the power button cord. It'd be like "Who designed these bodies? I've got to push so many organs out of the way just to get to the kidneys"

It’s amazing how many parts and pieces it has. What’s more amazing is that he knows how to put it all back together!
I was thinking about that and realized that filming is important for that too, if you forget something you did, you just have to rewatch the video. When I try to disassemble things I always take a picture to look back and know how to reassemble but video is more efficient 🤣
What's less amazing is the phone is from 2011 and won't even run 99% of modern apps

Wait a minute, you replied that to someone.
You know how I can tell you're not an apple authorized repair person?
_You actually opened the device_ , Most apple authorized repair wouldn't even give this phone a single thought, let alone open it.. even when it was new.
That's cause Apple's a shit company, why I only ever buy Android products.
Apple customer service: Sorry there's nothing we can do. Buy a new phone.

I love to do this, know how things work and disassemble since I was 5, my last adventure was my laptop! 👍🏻
I am so glad I found your channel. Loved everything I've seen sor far. I'm going to employ the templates for my watch disassembly/assembly. Thanks for the incredible time and effort you put into these videos.

Theres a dude stealing your videos. Not one of his uploads are his, he ONLY steals from you.
Please get him to see this, and please report him.

•You make sounds on this but he made it to ASMR
•The Images is same as you

He will be fixed next

Nice to see you bring this classic back to life, an awesome restoration job. Thanks for sharing!

Videos like these just make me want to take even better care of my electronics (among other things) than I already do~
Watching your channel these past few years gave me the confidence to open up my 3 year old laptop that was making some weird whirring sounds. And i fixed the problem! It was both scary and fun all at once since my laptop is my livelihood 😩
This Video is both satisfying and infuriating: satisfying because of your excellent Work and infuriating because of Apple's design choices.
You have cleaned and repaired age old Technology in half the Time you needed to replace the Screen and the broken Cables here ,just because Apple has to tape everything together.
Nice waifu speedwagon pfp 😌
Well they do that for shock protection, to make sure if you drop the phone nothing comes loose inside and possibly interrupt any of the workings.
I'm not a fan of Apple's software but I gotta give them props for smoking enough crack to engineer something so well.
My dad used to love his iPhone 4 he kept it for YEARS, he misses it so much. It was a really well made phone
Looks brand freaking new. Amazing. Love your videos. Currently going through and watching (almost) all of them
I never really thought about how freaking complicated the inside of a smart phone is. This gives me a whole new respect for the dudes who fix these things...
I was just waiting for "This doesn't work, I make new one" and he just creates a new phone from scratch
Such a "simple" and "user friendly" assembly...
As the video went on I became increasingly nervous that we probably would not see the Ducktor in this restoration... I'm so glad I held onto hope until the very last moment!! It was so good to see his smiling face of approval of your work 🥰
